Oh, and your homemade black bean burger sounds amazing! Care to share how you make it?

All the best!Karen

Hey Karen,

Thanks for the support!! Here is the link to the black bean burgers I make...I make them with the oats and I bake them. I make large batches and then freeze the extras. It comes out to be about 200 calories per burger and about 9 grams of protein. http://edibleperspective.com/2011/07/the-burger/

Email me with an update when you get a chance. How are you feeling? I see that your weight hasn't gone down. But that doesn't mean you're not improving!! Remember, the scale is a tool. But it's not the whole picture. Take some more progress photos and compare them to the "before" shots. You may just be retaining a little water OR you may have put on a little more muscle, which would be GREAT!

As soon as you can get into the habit of tracking macros, I can zero in on small changes you may be able to make. Your increase in water is good. Keep it going!

Your workouts look great! : )
